Mastering Chicken Parm Sliders: How-To

Ready to bring these Chicken Parm Sliders to life? Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

If you are using frozen chicken breasts, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or follow your preferred method of defrosting. Once thawed, slice the chicken breasts into thin cutlets for quicker cooking.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Step 3: Add Flavor

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, pour in the spaghetti sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 4: Assemble the Sliders

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, place the bottom halves of the slider buns. Layer the cooked chicken on top, spooning some of the sauce mixture over each piece. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken, and top with the other half of the slider buns.

Step 5: Prepare the Butter Mixture

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the slider buns, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for an added touch of flavor.

Step 6: Bake

Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for
